I'm after a new kitchen knife. The one I have currently is ancient and could probably do with retiring! I'd like something similar to replace it, nothing too fancy, something I can use every day without worrying too much about it. Ideally about 8" long. What sort of money should I realistically expect to spend to buy a knife that will last decades of daily use?
I got a Victorinox Classic Santoku with rosewood handle (so I'm not tempted to put it in the dishwasher!) a while back. It's really very good - very thin blade, light, easy to sharpen and nicely balanced.
